Activity Nine: Present Your Findings
Essential Skills Tip: Writing, Oral Communications
• Make notes for a short presentation about an occupation that
interests you
• Using notes, present your job search findings to a colleague
You have done a lot of research before coming up with the two or three
occupations that interest you the most. One way to increase your clarity
and focus is to talk about your choices. If you have been working with other
colleagues who are job searching, why not tell one another what you have been
doing? This kind of short presentation is great practice for an interview because
it helps you to become more comfortable talking about the kind of work you
would like to do.
Prepare a short presentation (no more than five minutes) on the first occupation
of your choice. Answer the following five questions regarding your research.
Use your answers to present your material. It’s okay to use notes when you are
presenting your information.
1. What is the NOC code for your occupation, including the major, minor and
unit groups?
2. How do your interests, skills and abilities match this occupation?
